For a richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth. Adjust the amount of chipotle chile powder to suit your desired level of spiciness. If you don't have roast beef, cooked steak or even shredded chicken can be substituted. A dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lime adds a bright, fresh finish.
